Real Madrid's James Rodriguez continues to be subject to intense transfer speculation, with a move to Manchester United reportedly in the works.

The Colombian has fallen down the pecking order and is believed to be deemed surplus requirements by Zinedine Zidane as he ponders a summer switch.

As well as United, a host of Europe's finest are also in contention to snap up the 25-year-old but Jose Mourinho has reportedly been given the green light to complete the big-money transfer.

Mourinho is plotting several transfer as he continues to stamp his identity on the United playing squad. From Antoine Griezmann to Romelu Lukaku, to name but a few.

And it appears he'll raid his former side for Rodriguez. What's more, according to Don Balon, he's already eyeing up a shirt number.

The Spanish outlet claim Rodriguez has chosen the No.10 shirt which is currently in the possession of Wayne Rooney who is also under mounting scrutiny about his future.

Rodriguez and Mourinho share the same agent in Jorge Mendes with Diario Gol claiming a deal in close to being agreed.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old captain looks likely to be heading towards the Old Trafford exit with a move abroad supposedly on the cards.

Major League Soccer and the money-rich Chinese Super League are hoping to secure his services while a sensational return to Everton is also being muted.
